rbenv, but for Go.
To install the latest stable release:
git clone -b v0.0.5 https://github.com/wfarr/goenv.git ~/.goenv
Then add the following to your shell config at the end:

eval "$(goenv init -)"
» goenv help
Usage: goenv <command> [<args>]
Some useful goenv commands are:
exec Execute a command from a particular Go version.
shell Set GOENV_VERSION for the lifetime of a shell.
local Persist the preferred Go version in the cwd.
global Persist the preferred Go default version.
install Install a version of Go.
uninstall Uninstall a version of Go.
version Show the current Go version.
versions Display all versions of Go installed in `${GOENV_ROOT}/versions/*'.
rehash Rehash goenv shims (run this after installing executables)
See `goenv help <command>' for information on a specific command.
This library was heavily, heavily, heavily inspired by @sstephenson's rbenv and ruby-build projects. A few ideas were also taken from nvm.
A number of patterns and utilities are borrowed from that project, and it is my hope that goenv provides the same simplicity, elegance, and usability that I've come to love in rbenv and ruby-build for Go users.
